Your document ID seems too long and may also contain illegal characters (as it seems to be a URL). I would recommend instead creating a hash, e.g. MD5 or SHA1, of the id string and use this as an ID.

I would recommend staying away from extremely long document IDs (especially if they can contain unsafe characters) as they can take up quite a lot of disk space. Not sure if it is possible to override it.

That is a completely separate question, so please open a new thread with a proper description. Include which versions you are using as well as how you are currently indexing data, e.g. language client used.
